Yeah okay, lets bring stats into this. From looking at yours and tqchv’s, it’s clear that you guys don’t like change. You’re upset that something was changed in the only game you play, and can’t understand that the larger community wants short range bow mechanics in the game. If you’re truly wanting to be the best you can be, try to branch out into different styles of pvp instead of relying on bow spamming.
Edit: on a side note, if you’re going to be disregarding people’s opinions based on if they play it a lot or not, let’s do the same for you guys. So, don’t speak about the short range bow mechanics in other gamemodes, since you guys have barely touched them. (I don’t know how to make this one more respectful, but seeing as splodger didn’t remove it, I guess it wasn’t that bad.)
Another edit after splodger’s message: no idea how this message survived, but I’ll try to make it more civil real quick without changing what I said.
We hear your feedback and have made the following changes:
Knockback will now always be applied, regardless of whether or not damage is taken
The range that the damage nerf is applied to has been reduced from 6 blocks to 5
Please let us know your thoughts on these changes–they are not necessarily final, and we will continue to look at your feedback and make further changes if appropriate.
As an aside, I do want to mention that your claim that player counts have dropped because of this update isn’t valid. Many schools in Europe re-opened this week and naturally, player counts for games are therefore down across the board–CTF is not an anomaly.
That was a trend that was happening even before the update lol, it was consistantly slipping below the threshhold for pbmm and that made lots of mobile players quit. Correlation doesn’t equal causeation lmao, the numbers weren’t because of the bow changes.
also, there was an update back then, causing an obvious player increase. It’s now been several months since the update, so hype has gone down, and combined with school going back, you don’t really have much ground to stand on
I understand this might be the case, but why have I never seen such play count drops since I started playing back when the gamemode got released?
Sure, I’ve seen low player counts before but never this consistent.
Also, thanks for listening to us, even if it’s not what we wanted 100% this is definitely a step in the right direction. I’m banned on the hive’s discord so I wanted to thank you through here.
CTF is an amazing mode that is based on gamesense and strategy and I am happy we are getting these updates. Valley’s arrow-activated gates next!!!
192 players, that’s bad. I’ll do a follow-up to confirm the trend, I’ll be back in a while.
I want to clarify that I do not mean that the figure you give is wrong. I mean, if true, that’s a very bad number for the game.
You’re probably talking about their Sunday peaks which is often more higher than other days due to people having a lot more free time compared to weekdays: usually for school, work or in general just busy.
bro that’s crazy(if your right), also don’t completely revert it. Lower the cap down to 4, no kb unless fully charged, bow spamming is not cool. I am maxed lvl too, and I am(slighlty) competitive. I have played over 2k games. I have experience. I think the reasons of dropping player counts are really jus school, it’s more popular when there is no school.
